Jason Meyers won his second consecutive race in his home state of California on Friday night, as he held off fellow Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series driver Shane Stewart at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, California.

Terry McCarl continued his tune-up for the 2008 Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season on Friday night in Florida.

The native of Altoona, Iowa who won twice with the series last season was victorious at East Bay Raceway Park in the second of three nights of racing for the American Sprint Car Series. McCarl lined up 11th in the 25-lap contest and quickly charged his way to the front.

On the opening lap, he got around Kenny Adams who won at East Bay on Thursday night, as well as fellow Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car driver Joey Saldana, along with Tim Crawley and Brian Smith.

After a caution on the second lap, the remainder of the distance went non-stop, with McCarl quickly getting around Jason Johnson and Don Droud Jr. on the restart to move into the Top-Five with just two laps in the books. Two laps later, the native of Altoona, Iowa worked his way around Wayne Johnson and Gary Lee Maier to move into third.

McCarl took the second spot from Travis Rilat on lap six and next set his sights on leader Gary Wright. McCarl dove under Wright on the eighth lap to take the lead and worked his way through lapped traffic for the remainder of the distance to pick up the preliminary feature win.

By virtue of the points earned over the first two nights of the event, McCarl is locked into the A-Feature on Saturday night.

Other Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series drivers that took part in the event included: Tim Shaffer who finished eighth, Joey Saldana who was 11th, Daryn Pittman who was 15th and Jason Sides who was 21st.

In preliminary action, Shaffer finished fourth in the second eight-lap heat race, while Sides was fourth in the third heat. The fourth heat race saw McCarl finish third, while Saldana won the sixth heat, with Pittman coming home third in that same eight-lap contest.

Daryn Pittman won the first B-Main to race his way into the preliminary feature, while Sides was victorious in the second B-Main to also earn a spot in the 25-lap event on Friday night.

The drivers will all return to action tonight in the $10,000-to win Ronald Laney Memorial Kings of the 360’s at East Bay.

Craig Dollansky had just two month to prepare for the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series 2008 season. After joining Larry Woodward Racing to pilot the No. 2 car in early December, he and his new team worked countless hours in the shop, meticulously getting ready for their first season together.

Jason Meyers came close to winning on the first night of the Alltel DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park and again on the third night, battling with Donny Schatz in both of those contests. The pair found themselves dueling yet again on Saturday night, and this time Meyers was not about to be outdone, as held off Schatz to earn his first A-Feature win of the 2008 Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season.

Over the course of the last week, Danny Lasoski was plagued with some bad luck on the track and also was under the weather off the track, battling the flu for a majority of the 37th Alltel DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park.

After picking up a very lucrative victory last Saturday night on his way to the inaugural Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Jason Meyers could not wait to climb back in the car and hit the track this weekend.
